Meeting time ???

Is this time good for everyone, should we change it? Right now we know of people in Europe, Pacific, and Eastern Time and this seemed like the best crossover time.

How can we get the controler_configuration in OpenShift when deploying with Kustomize? i.e. fully gitops.

How can we get the controler_configuration in OpenShift when deploying with Kustomize? i.e. fully gitops.

One could argue that using the Ansible tool to deploy it is gitops. The issue from making it just a definition applied is that the data is stored in a postgres database, so it has to get there somehow, either through awx cli, or the API. We've opted to use tools around the API.

[djdanielsson]

So honestly I don't have much experience with OCP but following a gitops mentality once you make a change in git it triggers a CI tool that runs the playbook to apply the configuration. We currently don't have a great way to compare what is currently configured in AAP vs code best to look at filetree read and create roles that are about as good as we can do for the moment.

Meeting recording for those who wish to catch up

Things discussed.
@bbaassssiiee question
Bot for our matrix room to do announcements and increased privileges for admins
Using the tooling repo to make a site that has the Readmes linked and like a docs site. Jekyll?
Clean up the main readmes in each repo, like EDA did.
Probably more that I didn't jot down.
